Hell Or High Water Quote by Thomas D. Taylor
““Some really do want to prepare themselves, and in these cases, the preparedness is primarily emotional. They want to love that baby as much as possible, come hell or high water, and to make every possible preparation they can so that the baby can live in comfort, and receive the care it needs. Beginning to care for an autistic person even before he or she is born is one way of giving that child every chance in life once it is born, and to people with this philosophy, I say: “More power to you!” Can””
